This printer is available from most of the larger stores of Boots which sell computers and software.

The printer is good value for the money but I can only see one disadvantage is that it does not print Graphics.

The Brother HR5 can be worked by battery or mains, the mains adapter is bought separately, the printer takes four U2 batteries.

With the printer you get a roll of paper, four batteries and two spare tapes.

This printer will also work on the BBC and other popular makes of microcomputers.

This printer will print on normal typing paper as well as Thermal paper (You have to remove the ribbon cassette to print on Thermal paper).

The largest paper that the printer will print on is A4 paper. The Brother HR5 also has a self print function (You press the on line button and switch on at the same time).

You also get a comprehensive booklet with the printer which explains everything in detail.
